Dipping back into extreme binging again

You gave up is what happened. Before you try again if you are going to try again, you have to ask yourself why you want to eliminate your addiction and what you consider a success. For most people here, success comes from rebooting your brain. That means no PMO for 90 days. That is what I'm going for. It doesn't seem like now is a good time to decide if you want to get rid of your addiction. I would see a doctor to see if you are suffering from depression. That is what it sounds like. If you are, you might have to get that under control before you can decide if you want to kick your addiction. I don't have a career at the moment. I've been unemployed for nearly a year. I have kept myself busy with political activity, going to nofap forums and nofap Reddits, going through my emails and I get a lot. I am so busy I don't even think of looking at porn or fapping.

 

Before you try again, you have to ask yourself why you relapsed and what will you do to make sure that it doesn't happen again. The accountability software is a very good thing. I would also suggest putting porn blocker software on your computer and a porn blocker app on your phone. You also need to ask yourself why exactly do you want to eliminate your addiction. For me, it was hurting my partner. I've had my addiction for 30 years so I was expecting that rebooting and eliminating the addiction would be very hard. So far, I'm on day 19 and it hasn't been very challenging at all. Yes, I get urges but when that happens, I either sit, observe the urges, and then let them pass through. OR I go on this forum or the nofap subreddit and read and try to offer support and advice to others. I get engrossed and the urge fades. Either way, I don't miss porn at all. I'm sort of an old fart of 59 years old so I think no PMO will be easier for me than someone, for example, in their 20s. If you approach this with a "no matter what lies ahead, I am up for the challenge" then you will be motivated to withstand some urges. I hope some of this is helpful to you. Keep coming back here for support. You can do this!
